According to Occupational Safety and Health Act, schools should carry out the necessary safety and hygiene education and training for the staff and students in the laboratories, advocate relevant laws and regulations, and give guidance to promote safety and hygiene. CPU Forensic Science Laboratory routinely conducts 4-hour annual laboratory safety courses and quiz in beginning of each semester for students (staff) who need to use lab for research purpose. The contents of the courses include Safety and Hygiene Management for Laboratories, Hazard Communication, Personal Protective Equipment, Fire Prevention Guidance and Fire Equipment Operation Drill. Courses mentioned above and relevant regulations are available online. It helps researchers strengthen the concept of safety and hygiene, hazard prevention, and emergency response.
The laboratory safety courses started from 8:00 am to 12:00 am on Friday, Sep. 8, 2023. There were 128 students (members) participating in, including four-year students, master, doctoral students and undergraduate students. The courses was opened by Pai Chung-yen, director of the Forensic Science Laboratory of CPU, to encourage students paying more attention to the hidden crisis in the experimental sites and the importance of self-safety protection in addition to enriching their learning during the semester. Dr. Hsu Yi-Yang, lecturer of Colleges and Universities Laboratory Safety and Hygiene Center of the Ministry of Education, was specially invited to give lessons. Besides teaching of relevant knowledge, Dr. Hsu shared his own experiences while working as public hygiene technicians, and remonstrated the related domestic and foreign videos to remind students (staff) to pay more attention to the easily-overlooked crisis around them. Finally, Chou,Hsin-Hung, a Squad Leader of PingDing Branch Taoyuan Fire Department, gave guidance of the knowledge of fire prevention and treatment in the laboratories, and led the students to familiarize the operation of fire extinguishers.
After the courses,conducting online test. Not only can save energy and reduce using paper, but students can also directly review the evaluation results after the test, and present the analysis of the incorrect answers, to remember the correct concept profoundly. Students (staff) returned with a fruitful training/education results. We believe that everyone would be more familiar with the school environment and emergency response equipment after seminar and know how to protect themselves and keep away from the hazards of laboratories.
